He probably has a point.
TV is an opiate

It's some real Jeff Bezos Lex Luthor vibes going on in this thread........ and ain't nobody on the coli got that kind of money...... you ain't got time for TV but you got time for social media.......huh
Not trying to debate, I’m just responding because you quoted me.
My Pops used to say “my momma always used to ask why are you watching tv? They made their money” so believe it or not, I grew up hearing this kind of talk… weekly it seems like. I get the idea, but we all spend our downtime doing something we find relaxing. I have rich friends and family who play video games, go to shows and sporting events or watch tv regularly. It didn’t stop them from getting bread.
My take, that you quoted, is based on the psychology behind boot camp and how the military can turn a scrawny kid into a trained killer who follows commands and does what he is told with no questions.


I'm not broke, but this is a dumb take. Everyone needs a distraction.
So all you do is work study and the coliTelevision is detrimental. But everyone is different.
I don't watch TV, or streaming. I do watch fights though.
I don't play video games much anymore. Less than 2 hours a month, if that anymore.
I've wasted too much time doing shyt that serves no purpose.
How does a motherfukker put 300 hours into madden or 2k, and not know algebra or geometry, calculus? How have motherfukkers sat through a marvel movie marathon but not learned a second language or put that much time in at the gym or playing an instrument, learning to code or build.
There's a couple things in my life I'm still working toward, want to accomplish, and they are things that will take 10, 15, 20 years if i live long enough.
On anytime between now and then or on my deathbed im not going to say "i wish i watched tv" "oh man, i wanted to see that movie...."
That's because rich people have money for more expensive pastimesAnd that's not a good thing.
I used to sell cable packages by the neighborhood.
Most of the most expensive cable packages were sold in broke ass neighborhoods. A lot of rich neighbourhoods got basic packages or nothing but internet
That shyt was an eye opener.
they are doing that shyt to build more connections...to make small talk with other influential people or to show themselves as higher status...warriors games are filled with this typeI work in finance and I disagree with him. All the white VPs and managers are die hard American sports fans.
The dudes you talking about were just flat out bums. At the end of the day whether you are a bum or not you will always find joy in some fort of entertainment.
